Hello, we successfully using Let’s Encrypt for a while. But this week we can not create new certificates for one of our new installaiton. kube-lego (let’s encrypt app for Kuberntes) fails with error below.

I’ve checked certificates in https://crt.sh/?q=%.gigantic.io and looks like we have only 7 NEW for last 7 days. Everything else are just renewals. So i think we are not hitting 20 certs per week limit.

Renewals currently count towards the 20 certificate per week limit. You can continue to renew certificates after reaching the limit, but renewing certificates will count and prevent you from issuing new certificates.

Let’s Encrypt’s long term plan is to improve this, but it hasn’t been possible yet.

Looks like a reason. Thanks for sharing. We probably will go with rate limit increase as we have many installations, so sooner there will be more than 20 renewals.
